SEO Website Migration Services

A website migration, a new domain, a platform change, a full redesign, or a major site restructure, is one of the highest-risk moments for organic traffic on the entire SEO calendar. Done properly, rankings carry across with minimal disruption. Done without SEO involved from the planning stage, months or years of accumulated ranking equity can disappear in days. SEO migration services from ALC mean being involved before the migration happens, not brought in afterward to explain what went wrong.

OUR SERVICES

What's Included in SEO Migration Services From ALC

Pre-migration technical audit

A full audit of your current site’s indexed pages, ranking URLs, backlink profile, and technical setup before any changes happen — you can’t protect what you haven’t first mapped.

Redirect mapping and implementation

Every ranking URL mapped to its new destination with proper 301 redirects, avoiding the redirect chains, loops, and missed URLs that cause the traffic drops migrations are infamous for.

Content and URL structure planning

Working through what content moves as-is, what gets consolidated, and what URL structure the new site will use, before the migration happens rather than reverse-engineering it afterward.

Staging environment SEO review

Checking the new site in a staging environment for crawlability, indexation readiness, and technical SEO issues before it goes live, so problems get caught before they affect real rankings.

Launch-day monitoring

Active monitoring of crawl behaviour, indexation, and ranking signals in the days immediately following launch, when issues are both most likely to appear and cheapest to fix quickly.

Post-migration recovery support

If a migration has already happened and traffic has dropped, a diagnostic audit to identify what broke — redirect issues, lost content, crawl or indexation problems — and a plan to recover it.

CLIENT SUCCESS STORIES

Measurable Growth & Strategic Impact

I think you are a great presenter, and there is a need in the market, especially in the agency world, for agency owners to invest in facilitated team training rather than self-driven online training offered by platforms. This is great for team culture and better for professional development.

Annabelle has been wonderful to work with on our SEO and blog content. She has taken the time to really understand our business, our target market and the style and tone we want to present through our website and online presence. The blogs are SEO work she produces feel tailored to our business rather than generic content, which is something we really appreciate. She is always professional, creative and easy to communicate with, and the whole process has been smooth and enjoyable from the start.

The ALC Methodology

Why Migrations Need SEO Involved From the Start

Most website migration traffic drops trace back to the same handful of avoidable mistakes: missing or incorrect redirects, URL structure changes without a proper mapping plan, content that got cut or consolidated without considering what was actually ranking, and technical issues on the new platform that go unnoticed until after launch. Every one of these is preventable with proper planning — but only if SEO input happens during the migration, not as a post-launch investigation into what went wrong. A technical SEO consultant should be part of the project team from scoping through launch, not a fallback when rankings tank.

SEO Pricing & Plans

SEO Packages & Pricing

ALC Consulting’s SEO packages typically run from around $995 to $2,250+ per month (excl. GST), depending on your catalogue size, competition, and how much content your strategy needs, scoped to a custom quote, not a fixed shelf price.

Every package includes comprehensive on-page SEO, technical health and speed optimisation, off-page authority building, and monthly performance reporting. There are no lock-in contracts.

Migration Pricing

Starting from $995 excl. GST / month

Migrations are scoped per project rather than sold as a fixed monthly package, since the work required depends heavily on site size, platform complexity, and migration type (domain change, platform move, full redesign, or a combination). A scoping call establishes the actual project size before any quote is given. Book a free 30-minute scoping call to get an accurate estimate for your specific migration.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I involve an SEO consultant in a website migration?

As early as possible — ideally during initial project scoping, well before any development or content work begins. The earlier SEO input happens, the more preventable issues get caught before they cost you anything.

Can you help if my migration already happened and traffic dropped?

Yes — a diagnostic audit can identify what broke (redirects, lost content, technical issues) and build a recovery plan, though earlier involvement always gives better protection than post-launch recovery.

How long does a website migration take to fully settle in search results?

It varies by migration size and how cleanly it was executed, but expect search engines to need several weeks to months to fully process the change, even with a well-executed migration.

Does changing my domain always hurt my rankings?

Not necessarily, with proper planning — but a domain change is genuinely one of the higher-risk migration types, and needs particularly careful redirect mapping and search engine notification to minimise disruption.

Is this service only for large enterprise sites?

No, migration risk applies at any site size. A small business changing platforms or redesigning its site faces the same fundamental risks as a larger enterprise, just at a different scale.
